Scams Going Around 1&1 Mailbox Blocked Did you receive a “Mailbox Blocked” email from 1&1? If so, it’s a scam trying to get you to enter your email login on a phishing website for easy access to your account. Hovering over the link in the email you’ll notice the link does not go to 1and1.com however it’s hard to do that on a mobile device. Don’t click on any links in an email asking you to access your account using a link or a button, instead go straight to the vendor’s website and log in there. Have you received an email or letter about your website or domain and you’re not sure if it’s a scam? We’re happy to help out our clients with issues like this, contact Appletree for more information.
